Target airguns used for 10 metre air rifle and 10 metre air pistol competitions generally shoot wadcutter pellets at muzzle velocities around 570 ft/s (170 m/s). The use of wadcutter match diabolo pellets is nearly universal in airgun target shooting where paper targets are used, at distances of 25 metres (27 yd) or less. [5]

For example, if a stage has 12 paper targets, requires two scoring hits per paper target, and since an A-hit gives 5 points, the stage will have 12 × 2 × 5 = 120 points available. If a competitor scores 115 points and uses 25.00 seconds he will get a hit factor for that stage of 115 points ⁄ 25.00 s = 4.6. The competitor with the highest ...
A typical 4.5 mm (.177 in) 10 m air rifle match pellet. For the 10-meter air rifle and air pistol disciplines, match-grade diabolo pellets are used. These pellets are wadcutter, meaning the pellet head is nearly completely flat. This leaves smooth-edged round holes in paper targets and allows easy gauging for scoring. Match pellets are offered ...
